Do cards matter? No matter RAM or PCI or ISA, all the same. I have 2xVoodoo 2 12MB and FX5700 plus real SB16 with OPL3. It happened afer BIOS update.

I updated painfully BIOS on my Biostar M6TZA and I put modified Slocket1 with P3 into it and it works, I never thought it's possible but now it works. At first it was freezing in BIOS (still freezes in one only option to set FSB), I replaced with P3 800MHz 133FSB what gave 600E MHz, it started, …

I have Super Socket 7 PC that works great as long as after I power it on it'll POST, if not I have to reset it untill it happens. Mobo is DFI K6XV3+/66 with modified BIOS provided to me by @Chkcpu. Is this normal behavior?

Re: ESS Allegro (ES1989S) silences itself

I installed different drivers and it stopped silencing itself but I lost DOS compatibility, when I managed to run DOS game while it was silencing itself I heard both digitizing sounds and music. In DOS mode I got only music as sound card wasn't properly detected.

I just got this card, not sure if this means anything but chip is Allegro and not Allegro-1, and after successful installation of drivers I get PCI audiodrive, ESS device manager, DOS emulation and joystick and sounds work until sound manager lowers main sound to zero and I literally see bar …

Also, lowering settings for MIDI didn't help, these crackliing noises are unbearable but still, lowering Sound Blaster helped.

Well, thanks for quick reply. 😀 That seems to be the case for CD-Audio, when I lower it improoves, with Midi I don't know but I'll test it. Also ES1989S aka ESS-Allegro on the way for this particular reason. This is my card:

I got myself PCI card that finally works as PCI sound blaster to me. However, when I set digitized sounds and music to SB compatible what I hear is clean but when I set anything MIDI no matter port 240 (default) or 220 music crackles a lot what is unbearable to me. Is my card broken or is it normal …

Yup, I wanted something 'stronger' but paying for another one since ATI Mobility Radeon 7500C isn't that good (but 'forced legacy' driver changed my mind about it's crappinesss), FX5500 is good but for XP for me, S3s have more sense for DOS, so I have only one choice, that Matrox. 😀

Well, for my motherboard it's still an overkill so do I need working one? I bet Matrox G450 is ok since runs DOS apps no problem, at least these I wanna use. 😁

So it's power issue not mobo's by itself? I mean it's still PCI and it'll work as long as enough power delivered to card?

I fixed it by installing, through Snappy Drivers installer, driver called 'forced legacy', I had no idea this app lists 2 drivers, one called 'legacy' which causes black screen after reboot after installing and this working however I got weird resolutions even 2K, wut? XD But now it works and under …

The probem is either win95OSR2 or card itself, I mean I told you, mi amigo, I couldn't set FX5200 manually because of missing something in USER32.DLL? So I removed all those inits in regedit to remove startup errors and as I mentioned DirectX games were working and benchmark 99 forced me to use …

Then I'm staying with Matrox G450 as this one works and doesn't mind DOS games and I think it's still overkill for this build. 😀

So I've got Nvidia FX5500 PCI 256MB RAM from china and card itself works but not with this mobo, shame and confusing Quadro NVS 280 PCI works. 😁

Ok, I turned off DMA for CDVD and works again however I got another issue, whenever music or sound plays entire screen flickers. I start to hate that mobo, Asus TX had annoying issues but nothing as annoying as this one. Edit: I have no PCI devices and only Sound Blaster 16 CT2910 but flickering …
